Board 8 > [BB] Big Brother Disccusion Topic [The Hantz train has started up again!]

(+) Yeah! (+)

So for the fantasy, I've considered delegating points on a basis of something like this:

Winning HoH: 10
Winning PoV: 7
Winning Reward/Food Comp (Team Effort): 3
Winning Reward/Food Comp (Individually): 4

Being on the block come eviction: 5
Having the PoV used on you: 3
Using the PoV on someone other than yourself: 3

Voting for the person who gets evicted: 1


Decent? Anything else?

Wait...please explain how the point system works exactly?

I would guess we just get points if the people on our teams do those things.

Shouldn't there maybe be negative points for some things? Like someone being nominated or evicted? Actually I'm not sure why being on the block on eviction night should garner points. For being on the block and not being evicted, I would get, but for just being nominated?

Essentially it's all about doing something. I considered having a point system last year for each HG just to see who was the most visible based on the criteria I listed above. Getting nominated isn't a good thing in the game but I don't think it needs to detract points. It shows that you're around and a part of the action - so you get rewarded for having your neck on the line. I don't think anything should take away points under the current system, unless someone is willing to put together a different point format that allows it.

Another issue is activity. I don't think everyone will be active, and, although I'd love to have the format be more complex, what with people selecting certain houseguests to "play" and "bench" and whatnot, I don't think I should expect much activity for the long haul. Inactivity is the worst. So a simple "you get points for having your players do stuff" seems simple and effective enough at the moment, without asking much from participants.


I'm thinking that being nominated = 4 points. Every vote cast against you (but you still survive) = 1 point each. So theoretically you could get nominated (4 points), be on the block come eviction (5 points), and every subsequent vote against you garners you more points. So, while winning HoH is worth a whopping 10 points, at least 1 person each week will gain 9 points from being nommed and staying on the block. For being THIS close to getting evicted, you can possibly gain more points than simply winning HoH.

And so on.

how will this work for picking players? I would rather not have 2 pools, but if we have to, I am down!

Well, we can either keep it simple and have 2 pools of 4 users each, where each user gets 4 players.

Or we can have 1 big pool and we each get 2, or somehow mix and match. But I haven't thought through the mixing and matching yet, and how that could possibly work.


--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

What we could do for 1 giant pool of 8 is this:

Each contestant can be selected by 2 users. So if I chose Ashley, then only 1 more user could select Ashley for their team.

That was kinda easy!

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

2 players would be cool. Mixing and matching isn't too bad as long as nobody picks the same guys.

+25 pts - Winning the game
+15 pts - Runner up
+10 pts - Winning HoH
+7 pts - Winning Veto
+3 pts - Surviving a week
+3 pts - Winning Food/Reward Challenge (+5 pts if solo)
+5 pts - Being on the block after veto
-1 pt - For each vote cast against you when nominated

After picking players on draft day, what else do we/can we do?

2 players would be kinda bad, I think, because someone is going to lose 1 player on the first week, and that's 50% of their team. I'm not a big fan of that, honestly.

Mixing and matching is exactly that - people picking the same guys! >->

25 points for winning the game is inconsequential in the scheme of things, I think. Same with running up. But I'm always down for the winner getting points, so maybe 25 is a fair amount.

Basically? Nothing.

You can help me tally points if you'd like, but otherwise, under the current simple format, there's not much else!

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

I can help tally :)

25 for winning seems okay. That is only the weighted value of 2.5 HoHs.

So we can't trade players with each other?

Also the veterans won't be doing any of the things that garner points, except for maybe Have/Have Not competitions. I feel like there should be other options based on what they can actually do, otherwise drafting them won't really accomplish much of anything.

I think trades will be an option. I'm liking the idea of mixing and matching - one giant pool where each houseguest can be selected twice.

I have no idea what the veterans will be capable of so I can't create a point value based on their unique situation.

--
ziggie ziggie wop wop

Yeah, that is a problem. I guess you could figure something out after the first few episodes and then apply them to subsequent episodes.

"First time I got punched in the face, I was like "oh no", then I was like "this is a story"."

I'm thinking I'll do that. However when selecting your team I'd recommend treating them like any other contestant, because I wouldn't be surprised if they're eventually put into the actual game.

When is draft day? I haven't really watched any interviews or read up on anyone yet and want to make sure I do that before.

Well I guess the four veterans actually need to be officially revealed first. >_>

I'm near positive on the four veterans and at the moment will include the 4 that *speculated* when doing the draft.

Draft will either be Wednesday or Thursday evening before the premiere.

Robyn?

AUGH. She's by far the worst person this season.
She'll probably be the crappy chef who's really annoying that somehow makes the F4. Just like every freakin season. I don't know why I still watch the show, it's so predictable. Have you noticed every competition always comes down to the last person?

Well this is only the second season I've seen of this show (I watched season 9 last year). I know what you mean in terms of keeping the annoying drama makers, like Elise last year (who I didn't like). I honestly don't think Robyn is bad. I think she's generally a really positive person, who is just kind of hyper-active. The last episode where her and Kimmie had that huge fight was really the first time I felt like Robyn was actually being overly negative and saying pretty bad things. Prior to that, I feel that she often actually does own up to some of her mistakes, and is always trying to help others and saying good things. She's just fairly loud and talks really fast. But compared to all the other negative people who are always complaining and always blaming everyone else, Robyn is mild. I just really like her as person. She's been my favorite person so far out of season 9 and 10.

My other favorites this season are Clemenza and Dana (and I also liked Danielle and Guy a lot). Last season i liked Elizabeth, Will, Tommy, and Jennifer. Also both of those seasons had someone I liked a lot who was great at cooking in the beginning, who I thought would win in the first few episodes, then they totally shut down mid season, sucked at cooking, and got really whiny (Patrick this season, and Jonathon last season).

Anyway, it's at least entertaining for me, only 2 seasons in.

I can't justify paying for the live feeds when I can just follow the updates for free and all the best stuff gets uploaded to youtube the same day.

I hope I catch some interesting stuff this year on the feeds. Besides there being no evel dick right at the beginning, I didn't see anything worthwile last season. I think the last cool thing I saw live was Dick ripping into (lol) Jameka and Wahmber in the kitchen while Dustin kept peeking through the door. Best thing I ever saw live was the BIG BOY wrestling match in All stars. Also, I hope BB Canada has some free feeds for the first season.

My favorite thing from the feeds (I had it for 10, 12, and 13) was Just the Tip, the talk show starring Britney and Ragan with appearances by Matt and Hayden. That was hilarious.
